Workshop: Serious PHP for Real Drupal Developers

Drupal developers are in for a real treat in the next release of Drupal. As of version 8, Drupal will be incorporating the Symfony2 framework and requiring PHP 5.3.4+. Experienced Drupal developers know this means change. Are you ready to level up? Join PHP expert Lorna Jane Mitchell and Drupal trainer Emma Jane Hogbin as they guide you through the core PHP knowledge you'll need for the next release of Drupal. Workshop attendees will learn how to solve common problems using elegant design patterns with object oriented programming.
Whether contributing to core, updating contrib modules, or creating custom Drupal products, participants will end the workshop with the skills needed to build elegant, contemporary PHP code for Drupal.

Who is the target audience?

PHP developers who've been focused on Drupal code for the last few years. They are excited about taking advantage of the new features Drupal 8 will be allowing (including PHP 5.3.4 and Symfony2) and want to ensure they are using best practices when refactoring their code.
Secondary audience members include: junior and senior developers who've learned their trade on Drupal's code base. They don't have a computer science background and they have learned exclusively "by example". They may be self-conscious of their code and want to be more confident in their ability to create code and not just modify someone else's.

Pre-requisites

Familiarity with Drupal PHP and a desire to improve the quality of the code written for the Drupal project and web sites deployed with Drupal is required. Developers who maintain their own contributed modules, or work on core development are ideally suited for this program. Drupal consultants and companies focused on site building, theming, and "glue code" modules will not find as much value in this workshop and are encouraged to wait for the open source version of the program.
Companies purchasing seats may have junior and senior developers attending. For this reason there will be pre-class resources available with introductory information on PHP and Drupal development. The pre-class resources will include Randy Fay's Examples module. A grocery list of system requirements will be provided; however, we do expect companies to provide their staff members with technical support on how to create a developer environment. Every company should have at least one participant able to create their own local developer environment. If your company does not have this capacity, please wait for the open source version of this course.

Curriuculum

What will participants learn? What will they be able to do after the workshop?

Describe patterns used in code and frameworks from other projects.

Apply best practices for OOP in PHP to the Drupal 8 core and contributed projects.

Write more efficient code.

Refactor existing code to take advantage of new language features and design patterns.

Recognize and refactor Drupal-specific code to use new language features and Symfony.

Leverage the capabilities of Symfony when writing new Drupal code.

Format

This class will be delivered as two half-day webinars with supplemental readings and practice exercises.

Dates: September 20, September 27.

Time: 9AM-12PM (Noon) Eastern Daylight Time

Location: WebEx Event Center (support for Linux, OSX and Windows; does not support iOS and other mobile devices)

There will be a recording of the session available within 48 hours of each class. Each company seat will also be granted one PDF license for Lorna's book, PHP Master.
The webinars will be kick-off sessions, introducing participants to a hands-on suite of activities. Readings, code snippets, and step-by-step exercises will be available for each part of the workshop to guide participants through the best practices of PHP development for Drupal. To support learners, there will be a class IRC channel. The instructors will be available between webinars at specific times to answer questions and assist learners. We expect there will be many opportunities for peer learning and encourage participants to engage in the IRC channel outside of the office support hours.

INTRODUCTION
------------
This document describes how to:
* Update your Drupal site from one minor 7.x version to another minor 7.x
version; for example, from 7.8 to 7.9, or from 7.6 to 7.10.
* Upgrade your Drupal site's major version from 6.x to 7.x.
First steps and definitions:
* If you are upgrading to Drupal version x.y, then x is known as the major
version number, and y is known as the minor version number. The download
file will be named drupal-x.y.tar.gz (or drupal-x.y.zip).
* All directories mentioned in this document are relative to the directory of
your Drupal installation.
* Make a full backup of all files, directories, and your database(s) before
starting, and save it outside your Drupal installation directory.
Instructions may be found at http://drupal.org/upgrade/backing-up-the-db
* It is wise to try an update or upgrade on a test copy of your site before
applying it to your live site. Even minor updates can cause your site's
behavior to change.
* Each new release of Drupal has release notes, which explain the changes made
since the previous version and any special instructions needed to update or
upgrade to the new version. You can find a link to the release notes for the
version you are upgrading or updating to on the Drupal project page
(http://drupal.org/project/drupal).
UPGRADE PROBLEMS
----------------
If you encounter errors during this process,
* Note any error messages you see.
* Restore your site to its previous state, using the file and database backups
you created before you started the upgrade process. Do not attempt to do
further upgrades on a site that had update problems.
* Consult one of the support options listed on http://drupal.org/support
More in-depth information on upgrading can be found at http://drupal.org/upgrade
MINOR VERSION UPDATES
---------------------
To update from one minor 7.x version of Drupal to any later 7.x version, after
following the instructions in the INTRODUCTION section at the top of this file:
1. Log in as a user with the permission "Administer software updates".
2. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode.
Enable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the
configuration.
3. Remove all old core files and directories, except for the 'sites' directory
and any custom files you added elsewhere.
If you made modifications to files like .htaccess or robots.txt, you will
need to re-apply them from your backup, after the new files are in place.
Sometimes an update includes changes to default.settings.php (this will be
noted in the release notes). If that's the case, follow these steps:
- Make a backup copy of your settings.php file, with a different file name.
- Make a copy of the new default.settings.php file, and name the copy
settings.php (overwriting your previous settings.php file).
- Copy the custom and site-specific entries from the backup you made into the
new settings.php file. You will definitely need the lines giving the
database information, and you will also want to copy in any other
customizations you have added.
4. Download the latest Drupal 7.x release from http://drupal.org to a
directory outside of your web root. Extract the archive and copy the files
into your Drupal directory.
On a typical Unix/Linux command line, use the following commands to download
and extract:
wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz
tar -zxvf drupal-x.y.tar.gz
This creates a new directory drupal-x.y/ containing all Drupal files and
directories. Copy the files into your Drupal installation directory:
cp -R drupal-x.y/* drupal-x.y/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation
If you do not have command line access to your server, download the archive
from http://drupal.org using your web browser, extract it, and then use an
FTP client to upload the files to your web root.
5. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess or robots.txt.
6. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php (replace
www.example.com with your domain name). This will update the core database
tables.
If you are unable to access update.php do the following:
- Open settings.php with a text editor.
- Find the line that says:
$update_free_access = FALSE;
- Change it into:
$update_free_access = TRUE;
- Once the upgrade is done, $update_free_access must be reverted to FALSE.
7. Go to Administration > Reports > Status report. Verify that everything is
working as expected.
8. Ensure that $update_free_access is FALSE in settings.php.
9. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode.
Disable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the
configuration.
MAJOR VERSION UPGRADE
---------------------
To upgrade from a previous major version of Drupal to Drupal 7.x, after
following the instructions in the INTRODUCTION section at the top of this file:
1. Check on the Drupal 7 status of your contributed and custom modules and
themes. See http://drupal.org/node/948216 for information on upgrading
contributed modules and themes. See http://drupal.org/node/895314 for a list
of modules that have been moved into core for Drupal 7, and instructions on
how to update them. See http://drupal.org/update/modules for information on
how to update your custom modules, and http://drupal.org/update/theme for
custom themes.
You may decide at this point that you cannot upgrade your site, because
needed modules or themes are not ready for Drupal 7.
2. Update to the latest available version of Drupal 6.x (if your current version
is Drupal 5.x, you have to upgrade to 6.x first). If you need to update,
download Drupal 6.x and follow the instructions in its UPGRADE.txt. This
document only applies for upgrades from 6.x to 7.x.
3. In addition to updating to the latest available version of Drupal 6.x core,
you must also upgrade all of your contributed modules for Drupal to their
latest Drupal 6.x versions.
4. Log in as user ID 1 (the site maintenance user).
5. Go to Administer > Site configuration > Site maintenance. Select
"Off-line" and save the configuration.
6. Go to Administer > Site building > Themes. Enable "Garland" and select it as
the default theme.
7. Go to Administer > Site building > Modules. Disable all modules that are not
listed under "Core - required" or "Core - optional". It is possible that some
modules cannot be disabled, because others depend on them. Repeat this step
until all non-core modules are disabled.
If you know that you will not re-enable some modules for Drupal 7.x and you
no longer need their data, then you can uninstall them under the Uninstall
tab after disabling them.
8. On the command line or in your FTP client, remove the file
sites/default/default.settings.php
9. Remove all old core files and directories, except for the 'sites' directory
and any custom files you added elsewhere.
If you made modifications to files like .htaccess or robots.txt, you will
need to re-apply them from your backup, after the new files are in place.
10. If you uninstalled any modules, remove them from the sites/all/modules and
other sites/*/modules directories. Leave other modules in place, even though
they are incompatible with Drupal 7.x.
11. Download the latest Drupal 7.x release from http://drupal.org to a
directory outside of your web root. Extract the archive and copy the files
into your Drupal directory.
On a typical Unix/Linux command line, use the following commands to download
and extract:
wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.tar.gz
tar -zxvf drupal-x.y.tar.gz
This creates a new directory drupal-x.y/ containing all Drupal files and
directories. Copy the files into your Drupal installation directory:
cp -R drupal-x.y/* drupal-x.y/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation
If you do not have command line access to your server, download the archive
from http://drupal.org using your web browser, extract it, and then use an
FTP client to upload the files to your web root.
12. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess or robots.txt.
13. Make your settings.php file writeable, so that the update process can
convert it to the format of Drupal 7.x. settings.php is usually located in
sites/default/settings.php
14. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php (replace
www.example.com with your domain name). This will update the core database
tables.
If you are unable to access update.php do the following:
- Open settings.php with a text editor.
- Find the line that says:
$update_free_access = FALSE;
- Change it into:
$update_free_access = TRUE;
- Once the upgrade is done, $update_free_access must be reverted to FALSE.
15. Backup your database after the core upgrade has run.
16. Replace and update your non-core modules and themes, following the
procedures at http://drupal.org/node/948216
17. Go to Administration > Reports > Status report. Verify that everything is
working as expected.
18. Ensure that $update_free_access is FALSE in settings.php.
19. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode.
Disable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the
configuration.
